Water Music

The stream sings it song,
ever long,
it pays me no heed,
but in doing its deed,
it give me sanctuary.

The Great Wood

Walking on,
she stumbled upon,
stone steps,
of slate stone,
they lead up,
to wooden bridge,
standing high above,
rivers tumbling edge,
she found the fairy's land,
hidden high in the Great Wood.

Waiting for Spring

The wind whips through,
these wild woods, anew,
tall yet slender and slim,
the trees swing to the song,
the wood stands high on side,
the view sweeping and stunning,
the lake is dark and deep,
these trees still sleep,
waiting for spring to dawn.

Raging against pain

Undeserving of such contempt,
the urge to vent, overwhelming,
what have I said or done,
or was it an omission,
heartache adds to pain,

I wish I didn't care,
I wish I had a heart of stone,
so hard you could not carve your name,
even with a diamond pen,

I swear these tears,
of poison ink, will be the last,
I pray,   I think,
how to make a lie,
into reality,

What is it, you want from me,
you have all I have to give,
why then torture me,
by leaving me,
in a state, of heightened anxiety,

I confess,
I do not profess, to understand,
only know this feeling,
in my chest,
is slowly,
destroying all I ever held dear.

All the world

I look upon his face,
I find him beautiful,
so full of youth,
talent yet unsung,
he is only one,
but if he were to smile,

All the world is yours,
go forth and find it,
revel in your free spirit,
live it,
if you get time,
save a piece,
for my mind.

Softly now

I love you like the first snowflake
to kiss the frozen ground
on a moonlit winter's night
when no one is around.

I love you like the milky white magnolia bud
atop the highest branch
opening its beauty
for only the sky's eyes.

I love you like the last night star
still hanging in the inky sky.
As the sun starts to rise
I feel you in my heart.

I love you like the fleeting glimpse
of the rainbow's magic appearance
in all its glorious spectrum,
transparently for only me.

I love you like the parched earth
welcoming the summer storm.
Until you came I was sleeping,                  
now new life springs forth.

I love you like the skin soft breeze
that tickles me, whispering sweet words
inspiring me to breathe my own creativity.

I love you in the only way I know, by baring my soul.
I ask for nothing in return, for what I have is joy
to know you are happy. That is all I desire...

Moonlit folly gets picked up
